Who is Super Sonico?
You may have seen her popping up in our news and figure posts for a while now, but it’s not easy to tell – just who is this Super Sonico character anyway and why does she have so many fans? We took the time out to explore the reasoning behind Super Sonico and just what makes her so popular.
In short, Super Sonico is the mascot for Nitroplus Company’s yearly music festival named, Nitro Super Sonico. Nitroplus make visual novel games which require the player to move through a fictional story with static images. Choosing their own fate they require little actual game-play and act more like a Choose Your Own Adventure book than an RPG.
Nitroplus’ main focus are these visual novel games, but since 2000 have produced their music festival every year running. It was only in 2007 did they introduce Super Sonico, their pink-haired buxom mascot. Her curvaceous look certainly helped her on her way to fandom. Many artists took to depicting her in their own manner (some of which I simply cannot post here).
After gaining such popularity in Japan, it seems Sonico has managed to squeeze her way into the UK and into our hearts. Numerous figures and merchandise products have been created for Sonico and soon enough she will have her very own visual novel game. This game will give players the chance to interact with Sonico, just like they have always wanted! Here is a short video-preview of the new game, entitled Sonicomi:
So what do you think of Sonico? Let us know in the comment section below.

There’s also a headset thing going on, which is just as much a factor, if not moreso among certain otaku, as her buxom figure.
Oh yes, I very much agree. The headphones are a massive part of her fandom.
So people have a headset fetish? Never knew; you learn something new each day. Whatever, Nitro+ is all about the VN.
I love the headset thing but I thing its more of a thing for people who’s life revolves around music.
Like my two favorite things in life are
1.Anime
2.Music
This. Since my favorite thing in life is music, I pretty much fall in love with any character with a headset.
Case in point: Elesa from Pokemon Black/White
sonico seems pretty cool the thing i don’t understand is how come shes related with so much porn O.O every time i see something with her its kinda tht which is strange…
Yes, she does have certain appeal to her. A lot of her promotional images are revealing – the Japanese do it with a lot of their characters.
So when does this game come to sell? Where can I get it?
The game is only available in Japan I am afraid.
Hentai Super Sonico ftw!
Is she only a mascot or is she a fanmade vocaloid? Please help me clear this up. X(
She is not a Vocaloid at all. She is just the mascot for this music festival. Hope that helps.
I want to know the singer, that’s all i care about. Her voice is beautiful and if she ain’t a vocaloid, then i want to know her real name so i can hear more from her.
I have no idea actually – perhaps Google could help you?
Ive looked around for hours and still have no clue who it is.

It said that was the voice of Super Sonico on some youtube video. Does this help?
Thank you Sarah, big help.
Yes, very much, thank you ~ lol
I want to have her figurines… :D
Jlist.com sells some figures, but the cheapest looks to be $75US and that’s not counting shipping. Amazon may have some cheaper if any are out there or you could go to Japan. She is probably everywhere there.
Forgot to add that there is some NSFW stuff on JList. You’ve been warned. I believe there is an all ages version, but the URL slips my mind atm.
Hot as hell! I just bought a sexy mouse pad with her on it. and her breast is tanding out and is made of silicon
Long have I wondered what the source was for this incredibly cute girl was. I was wondering if it was an anime, actually, so I could watch it. Oh well, it’s good to know she at least didn’t start OUT as a porn character. The headphones and her face team up and make me adore her long before my eyes reach her body… And that’s as easy on the eyes as it gets. So all in all, I wish she was real.

Sonico, wear your damn clothes instead of a sports bra, will you? You're a mascot, not a porn star. > <
I think it'd be so much better if Super Sonico is a Lesbian.
More like a Bi-Sexual :)
awesome!
Make her an vocaloid!
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!
I wish it was an anime.
I wish it was an anime.
Well. Here's another reason to finish learning Japanese.
She's going to be in a game called Super Heroine Chronicle with Dejiko from Di Gi Charat.
